McAfee data protection offers multiple layers of protection against data loss and unauthorized access. The cornerstone of data protection is encryption, which is used primarily to prevent unauthorized access from outsiders, especially when a device is lost or stolen. Complementary data loss prevention (DLP) and device control solutions provide increased insights, control, and safeguarding of data to prevent data loss caused by insiders. Recent studies have shown that the majority of data breaches are the result of accidental or malicious actions of trusted insiders.
